Photographing and Saving
Symptom Corrective action
Captured images have
low resolution and
the overlay
information cannot be
read.
• Set the image quality in File Settings of the SETUP menu.
Reduce the JPEG Quality (compression rate) or select “No compression
(BMP).”
=> See “1.4.2 Image File Settings” in Chapter VI.
Photographing is
mistimed even when
freezing.
• Be sure to select a combination of camera mode and source that will
not cause photographs to become mistimed (i.e., that will enable
satisfactory snapshot).
=> See “1.4.2 Image File Settings” in Chapter VI.
Camera modes
change
unintentionally.
• When photographing a dark subject, camera modes are automatically
changed in order to maintain the picture quality while at the same
time minimizing mistimed operation when the image is frozen. If you
are concerned with an unintentional change of camera modes, set
SOURCE to S1.3(DS-5M) or S2M(DS-2M) in File Settings of the SETUP
menu.
=> See “1.4.2 Image File Settings” in Chapter VI.

Abnormal Behavior
Symptom Corrective action
The system’s internal
clock does not keep
time correctly.
• If the system is not used for an extended period of time, the backup
function deteriorates, causing the clock to stop. Simply reset the
correct time. The backup function recovers when the system is
powered on.
The keyboard or
mouse does not work
or it operates
erratically.
• Be sure to use the recommended type of keyboard or mouse.
• Check that only one USB hub is connected. When using a keyboard
that comes with a hub, refer to “(3) Connecting USB Peripheral
Equipment” in Chapter IV, “3 Connection Methods” for details on how
to use a keyboard equipped with a USB hub.
Cannot write to or
read from a CF card
• Be sure to use a compact flash card (Type I or II) and a microdrive
(1 to 4 GB).
• Check that you are using a preformatted CF card or one that you’ve
formatted in FAT12, 16 (Sometimes these are expressed simply as
FAT.), or FAT32.
Depending on the OS used, you may not be able to select a format.
=> See “1. 2 Notes on Using a CF Card” in Chapter VI.
